Nonequilibrium statistical mechanics of crystals [PDF]
Journal of Statistical Mechanics: Theory and Experiment, 2021 Abstract The local equilibrium approach previously developed by the authors (J Mabillard and P Gaspard 2020 J. Stat. Mech. 103203) for matter with broken symmetries is applied to crystalline solids. The macroscopic hydrodynamics of crystals and their local thermodynamic and transport properties are deduced from the microscopic ...

Is Kaniadakis κ-generalized statistical mechanics general?
Physics Letters B, 2023 In this Letter we introduce some field-theoretic approach for computing the critical properties of systems undergoing continuous phase transitions governed by the κ-generalized statistics, namely κ-generalized statistical field theory.

Calcium and fluoride interaction in human enamel at nanoscale: an XPS assessment
Applied Surface Science Advances, 2022 Objective This research aimed to assess qualitatively and quantitatively the penetration depth of fluoride ions on nanosurface enamel (30 nm). Topical fluoride application reduces acid erosion on tooth enamel, which is the main contributing factor to ...

Statistical mechanics of aggregation and crystallization for semiflexible polymers [PDF]
EPL (Europhysics Letters), 2009 By means of multicanonical computer simulations, we investigate thermodynamic properties of the aggregation of interacting semiflexible polymers. We analyze a mesoscopic bead-stick model, where nonbonded monomers interact via Lennard-Jones forces. Aggregation turns out to be a process, in which the constituents experience strong structural fluctuations,

Statistical mechanics of splay flexoelectricity in nematic liquid crystals [PDF]
Physical Review E, 2010 We develop a lattice model for the splay flexoelectric effect in nematic liquid crystals. In this model, each lattice site has a spin representing the local molecular orientation, and the interaction between neighboring spins represents pear-shaped molecules with shape polarity. We perform Monte Carlo simulations and mean-field calculations to find the

Buckling Transitions and Clock Order of Two-Dimensional Coulomb Crystals
Physical Review X, 2016 Crystals of repulsively interacting ions in planar traps form hexagonal lattices, which undergo a buckling instability towards a multilayer structure as the transverse trap frequency is reduced.
